| Dogs |
| There's a reason they are called man's best friend. And if they are important to you, then they are important to us. That is why when we see that wagging tail, we give the best care possible. |
| Vaccines We recommend that all dogs be given canine distemper, leptospirosis, hepatitis, parainfluenza, parvovirus, and rabies once a year. If your dog is in training or boards frequently, we also recommend the canine bordetella vaccine. Puppies start shots at 6 weeks and are given boosters every 3 weeks until they are 4 months old. They receive boosters yearly. |
| Spaying and Neutering We recommend spaying and neutering at 6 months of age. This helps prevent behavior problems such as aggression and roaming. It also stops females from going into heat and stops unwanted litters from being born. Please do your part by having your dog spayed or neutered. |
| Parasites Fleas, ticks, ear mites, intestinal worms, and heartworms are some of the most common parasites a dog can have. We recommend that your dog be checked for parasites at every health check. Heartworms can be very dangerous to your dog's health, which is why our veterinarian's recommend keeping all dogs on heartworm preventative year round. |
| If your dog acts lethargic, doesn't want to eat or drink, coughs, or itches a lot he may have a problem. Stay ahead of the game and call us for an appointment if you notice any of these symptoms. |
